Although tomatoes are adapted to various climates, their growth and development is rather sensitive to environmental stresses including heat. Under tropical and subtropical climates, heat stress is a severe constriction for tomato crop production since it is leading to poor fruit set and consequently low yields. Heat stress is a complex function of intensity, duration, and rate of increase in temperature. Therefore, in the current study the response to heat stress of Solanum lycopersicum and Solanum pennellii introgression lines were investigated.The main focus was laid on traits related to...
